Rudy is out on a cruise this week so I have Daniel from Current Gen Podcast here with me to go over the current gaming landscape and also to dig into the predictions of where the future of Final Fantasy VII is going.
First we go into the first game exclusive to Netflix subscribers, Miyazaki's next project is in the final stages, A Plague Tale's sequel gets a release date, another wild Overwatch 2 turn in development, and Sonic Origins development issues.
Final Fantasy VII content is now in the forefront of gaming media yet again and Tim can't stop mesmerizing over it. But before we start drooling over new content incoming we go over other current updates in the medium as we reach the ending of Fake3. Stalker 2 gets a very heart-wrenching dev diary, Resident Evil Village has lots of content incoming, new details on Starfield that better maps out their plans of addressing concerns after the showcase, new important details that explains the gameplay mechanics of As Dusk Falls, Digimon Survive gets a new trailer and release date, we finally get news on what is upcoming for Dragon's Dogma, and lastly we go over the many fantastic announcements from Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Celebration and go over the importance of Final Fantasy VII in general.
We go deep into the Xbox/Bethesda Showcase which for me is one of the best showcases we got since that 2015 PlayStation E3 of Dreams! Lots of very big reveals which fully cement my recent discussions on Xbox going big for Japan and Japan fully embracing them for the first time in history and we also finally get a Starfield gameplay revealing that went more into depth than expected! Also if you check my predictions from the previous episode you'll see that the Gods has gifted me with future knowledge that I will now use to only focus on video games and nothing more! We also pick a few games from Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley to highlight. Than the 2nd half of the show I get to go into a deep dive with a special guest, Corbin from The Nerdosphere about his show's origins, future goals, production, the struggles of keeping a show/brand going strong while always having something new on the backburner, plus spiraling into great nerdy randomness like DND and Marvel!
FakE3 is upon us! We just got a 3rd party/PSVR2 State of Play from Sony that was far better than we expected so we go deep into that! Then because the only "Real E3" part of this summer is Microsoft doing a normal E3 type showcase on Sunday June 12, we give a very in-depth predictions bit for that showcase. Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet got a second trailer and a new website which both give lots more detail on the new game with the biggest news being the fact that they are now calling this new game "An Open World RPG", which they never have done before. We then get into other gaming news like PS+ monthly games, Twisted Metal TV series update, Sonic Frontiers gameplay footage, and a new console from Sega!
Sadly no E3 is happening this year but we still try to dissect what gaming news is happening in the first half of June including a State of Play but only on 3rd party and PS VR2 content. There will be lots of shows but will there be any of substantial substance besides the Xbox/Bethesda showcase? Later we discuss PlayStation set on overcoming the supply constraint issue and their plan to even surpass their PS4 system, plus some new game announcements and delays.
All PS+ new tiered games at launch are revealed and man is there is a ton to dissect here! Is this satisfactory for launch? Can this stand toe to toe with Game Pass? What new things does it bring that Xbox Game Pass cannot? After those discussions we get into a 2nd Death Stranding being revealed awkwardly, a very insanely unexpected news story on Xbox doing great in Japan and Series S systems are even selling better than PlayStation 5 systems which would be the last thing anyone would expect a few years back, some game announcements and delays, and lastly another game ditching last-gen versions.
With the 2nd half of 2022 looking bleak for Sony and now Microsoft, the focus shifts on Nintendo to supply the games! We start with discussing Starfield and Redfall's delay, then get into the next Nintendo Switch and Elden Ring sales milestones, Mario Strikers Battle League right around the corner, the possibility of the next Burnout game is setting up beautifully, plus Gotham Knights ditching last gen consoles.
In this episode we talk about our PC gaming history, Sony acquiring BluePoint Games, BIG releases coming this week, Xbox Games with Gold + PS Plus + Japanese GamePass hits, and our main topic being "Top 5 Video Game Soundtracks" w/ another guest visit from Jake Villar!
You can watch the video version for the first time over on "The Inside Byte" channel on YouTube. We discuss the PS5 showcase that took place earlier in the week, answer listener questions for the first time, Matrix: Resurrections new trailer, Halo Infinite's next multiplayer preview incoming, New Game Watch, and Main Topic - best spin offs in video game history. Featuring Guest / Dave twitch.tv/munkyhero Twitter @munkyhero89
This week we discuss big system updates to both the Switch and PS5 including the very unexpected but welcome addition to Bluetooth on Nintendo Switch, Tales of Arise has the biggest sales success in the series, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl looking very promising, and the main topic being "Shining a positive light on GameStop" guest starring GameStop employee - Joshua M.
We discuss the recent Nintendo Direct of September 2021 with big hitters like Bayonetta 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Super Mario Movie, and Nintendo 64 hitting Nintendo Switch online service! Halo Infinite continues to impress! Also Fall Guys sets world record and we get 2 mobile device duds from big series.
A very special episode discussing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's final character reveal and what could possibly be the end of the "Sakurai Era" for the series. We go over the history of Super Smash Bros, it's importance both in the industry and in our lives, the legendary Sakurai himself, and where we see the future of the series heading. w/ Guest Jake Villar Doni Kenney Dave - twitch.tv/munkyhero Tony Holifield
We discuss games that shook our core and forced a break from the medium, favorite video games that aren't a part of a series, the huge personal and commercial success of Metroid Dread, Nintendo Switch Online expansion pass not looking too hot, twitch getting hacked, and more Halo Infinite hype surrounding the recent competitive information.
In this very meaty episode we go into very credible Bloodborne port/remake/sequel rumors, Uncharted movie trailer thoughts, God of War coming to PC and thus bringing more credibility that Sony is genuinely serious about porting their games to PC (with Xbox and Sony now onboard is PC is the ultimate place to play now), with very little left of the year we start to break down the GOTY discussion, Elden Ring delayed, upcoming PlayStation State of Play, Assassins Creed Valhalla's Discovery Tour, and last but not least a look at Halo Infinite's PC Port Overview!
In this week's episode my mind is blown on being able to enjoy new games on old tech that shouldn't be able to run it due to new AI development, we dive into a shallow State of Play yet PlayStation hits yet another big milestone in sales, the complete disaster of Nintendo 64 emulation on Nintendo Switch Online's service, and main topic being our top 5 video game character!
We discuss a GLORIOUS 19 minute gameplay demonstration of Elden Ring and just more on the game and genre as a whole, will a Skyrim 10 year anniversary somehow change our opinions on the game, Halo doing Battle Pass correctly, Game Pass's biggest month yet is November especially when featuring Forza Horizon 5's 10/10, and more Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy love!
I PLAYED OVER 10 HOURS OF ELDEN RING! This week is a solo episode with just me, Tim, doing the show as Rudy is on a family vacation. I give many thoughts on my Elden Ring experience but making sure not to give any specific details outside of what was shown on the gameplay showcase. I also go into PS5's and Xbox Series X/S's first year of being released, and to how The Game Awards is coming too soon and screwing over yet another big release.
VERY special guest today who's life's work revolves around black hole studies, Mario! If you want to skip ahead to the incredible discussion of black hole study progressions the timestamp is 1:42:14. I was completely blown away by the great knowledge and level of presenting done by Mario and man its probably the best "Main Topic" we had to date! BUT! He first joins me and Rudy on our thoughts of the first year being complete of the new generation, Forza Horizon 5 hitting 10 million players, Switch hardware sales being back on top, the new GTA Trilogy being far from the "definitive" way to play, Xbox's 20th anniversary with the surprise drop of Halo Infinite Multiplayer and 72 new BC titles with many new FPS boost as well (Oblivion at 60fps on console is an amazing site to behold), and more gushing on Marvel's Guardian of the Galaxy!
We finally met each other! We start the show by going into meeting in person for the Sacred Symbols Live (Episode 200) event in Richmond Virginia! Also in this episode... -Super Mario Bros. movie delay -Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse having over 200 characters -Xbox and Bethesda's showcase for June -Tons of incoming Sifu content -Disney Dreamlight Valley being revealed -Sony getting prepped for more acquisitions -Embracer gobbling up more IPs -Monster Hunter Rise having a Sunbreak event very soon -Final Fantasy XVI almost done with development

We start the show with talking about a very convincing potential of Game Boy Advance hitting the Nintendo Switch Online service plus our love for the system and its catalog of games. We then get into Gearbox reviving "Tales From the borderlands", Xbox Series X/S seems to continuingly sell higher than PS5 even after the holiday season, VRR arrives on PS5 with some caveats. Also talk a bunch of new game announcements that is bound to please people from all walks in gaming and why The Rock will be playing the book in the upcoming It Takes Two movie. We finish out the show by giving more favorite games of the year with this being from 2005-2001.
We start the show with finally addressing this IGN $20 quick news payout situation, then get into corrections from last episode, Sony investing 1 billion dollars into Epic Games metaverse, Witcher 3 selling over 40 million copies while the current gen patch gets delayed, PS+ being devastating for Oddworld: Soulstorm's Developer, Square Enix now being happy with Guardians of the Galaxy game after Game Pass exposure, Digital Foundry thinking BOTW 2 is being too impressive for original Switch hardware specs and starts our Switch Pro Speculation wheels turning again, then Final Fantasy IX is truly starting to look like it really is getting a remake! We end the show with going 5 years deeper into our main topic.
We start with me gushing over Kingdom Hearts 4 being shown making sure I keep it at the amazing cringe level it deserves. Than we talk on Metroid Dread still continuing to get better with new content, Activision Blizzard converts all QA Testers to full time employees with benefits and increased wages, Max Payne coming back, Days Gone director maybe get a light at the end of the tunnel, PS games expiring, more Unreal Engine 5 news, Xbox Series X/S consoles now being in stock as a regular occurrence, than end the show with more best games from each year discussion with now being from 2015-2011.
In this episode we discuss our love for Nintendo and how they continue to be big pivotal points the industry, PlayStation Spartacus being officially announced even if it's just a toe dip into the subscription world with far too little detail on what we are even getting, E3 being completely canceled this year, and Breath of the Wild's sequel officially not showing up in 2022.
Rudy tries to give his hands on impressions on the steam deck while I bombard him with question, new Battlefield and Witcher already in development, Sony's PlayStation division acquires another studio, then we start an ongoing segment of our rankings of favorite each year starting from 2020-2016.
Solo episode with your favorite person on planet Earth. I droll over Hogwarts Legacy, go over hardcore gaming getting more and more mainstream, Nintendo actually making Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass worth the money after-all, and than get into what I'm playing which includes Rudy's favorite game of all time!
We get into the latest PlayStation State of Play showing(VALKYRIE!!!), PlayStation and Nintendo joining Microsoft and halting all sales in Russia, I describe the wild journey that is Stranger of Paradise, than we get into a debate of what animals we can destroy with just our bare hands!

Horizon Forbidden West, Dying Light 2, KOF XV, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Gran Turismo 7, Elden Ring, Triangle Strategy, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen, Kirby and the Forgotten Land... and we're only in the 3rd month of the year. Crazy things keeps happening in the real world. Resident Evil Remakes of 2 and 3 are getting current gen upgrades along with 7! We still keep obsessively talking Elden Ring. And lastly Crunchyroll gets a big upgrade!
Elden Ring has released and we give our first 10 hour impressions. Some random other gaming stuff happened with some unknown franchise called Pokémon if I remember correctly, but more importantly is Elden Ring. Most of the show is just consumed by Elden Ring talk! Enjoy :P
This week is full of highs and lows. Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077's next gen patch is here! Street Fighter VI gets announced! Nintendo is shutting down their digital stores of last gen! PlayStation is back to more censorship that even Nintendo doesn't follow. Than we finish out the show getting one last hype moment of Elden Ring before Friday's release!
We discuss a very strong Nintendo Direct showcase full of dream announcements for Tim Schaffer! Chrono Cross, Klonoa, Xenoblade, and a Japan only darling back on SNES coming back BABY!! Plus Uncharted movie looking to be what was expected...
We start off by getting Rudy in on the conversation about PS switching focus to LIVE SERVICE games and treating PS like a platform on multiple platforms and not so much on just the system being at it's core. Steam Deck is getting hands on by a few tech junkies and the takes they have seem super overly positive! We go into Gran Turismo 7's and Ghostwire: Tokyo's showcase. Nintendo Switch sales surpass Wii! Next new IP by the Shovel Knight team! Lastly, Google seems to do what it has always done and drop focus on a big new project far too soon.
We discuss more Microsoft/Activision acquisition updates and if subscriptions are what we want out of gaming, and than during editing I find out SONY IS NOW AQUIRING BUNGIE and put in a solo segment on it. Than Dying Light 2, Elden Ring, and Steam Deck become all GOLD and good to go! Game Pass goes BIG in January, than we close the show out with the conclusion to January bets!
What more needs to be said. This is the biggest news story in the video game realm probably since it's inception, I mean Activision has been making games since the 1970's for the Atari system. The IP's and studios now being Xbox first party games is staggering. We discuss everything from the morality, to what this means for studios being able to be more free, to World of Warcraft, to how Sony responds to this.
Sony has figured out how to solve the shortage issue of PS5 systems... just supply more PS4! We also discuss Stalker 2's delay, new Kirby and the Forgotten Land details plus release date which also sparks a top kirby games discussion, Ubisoft making big Xbox moves, Mario Kart 9 is going to have a new twist that we think we have figured out, and a new monthly segment we start this episode and its all about predicting review scores for the month.
More FAN-FAVORITE topic discussions revolving around NFTs and Kojima's Abandoned! We also get into Xbox canceling dev accounts than re-enabling them 2 days later. E3 going digital only again this year, and BIG PSVR 2 reveal!

Chase, a teacher for game development and creator of "whenslunchgames" (http://www.whenslunchgames.com/) is joining us in this episode to discuss the in and outs of the field. But first we go deep into all the 2022 game releases on all systems and even rank our anticipations on each title.
We began the show with talks of our cilantro of video games, than dive deep into the Game Awards 2021 show, I gush about Halo Infinite's amazing campaign, and we end the show by watching AAA gaming pretending to die.
We first go over all major exclusives of each system in 2021 and see which console had the best. PlayStation has a response to Game Pass with classic games being the biggest point of concern on how they are handled. Big surprises of new additions being added to older games. And finally we give our Game Awards 2021 predictions!
We start off the show trying to figure out where is the love for turkey on thanksgiving! We than go deep in on Halo Infinite and I try to wrap my brain around people reviewing a Beta, League of Legends is starting to release its broader horizons, Kojima opens up a TV/Movie business division, and Nintendo is FINALLY be kind to Melee tournaments. Our main topic is going over our TOP 5 PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES from PS1-PS5.
We have 2 guest from MP1st.com, Sean and James, to spend this entire bonus episode discussing the very limited yet incredibly enjoyable Elden Ring Network Test. It's basically a "spoiler cast" for what was about a 10-15 hour experience so we go deep into EVERYTHING it had to offer! The amount of new features that aren't in previous From Software titles is quite the treat and we don't hold any nerdy details back! Please enjoy!
China's new law only allowing minors 3 hours a week to play video games, New PS5 Showcase Broadcast incoming, Game Boy and Game Boy Color games coming to Nintendo Switch, does Nintendo need to keep their IPs in-house so they can stay to the quality of FROM SOFTWARE, and main topic being our HOT-TAKES!
